Just a brief, periodic reminder that the AoIR Ethics Committee continues to seek narratives of Internet researchers' experiences in utilizing the AoIR Ethics Guidelines in conversations with IRBs. If you have had an encounter with your IRB, positive or negative, in which the Ethics Guidelines played a role -- or one in which they might have played a role -- we seek your confidential feedback at this web site: http://faculty.luther.edu/~johnsmar/AoIR/AoIRform.htm If you are unfamiliar with the AoIR Ethics Guidelines they are available at: http://aoir.org/reports/ethics.pdf -- Mark D. Johns, Ph.D. Asst. Professor of Communication/Linguistics, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa http://faculty.luther.edu/~johnsmar/ ----------------------------------------------- "Get the facts first.
